The Azure Nuthatch is a strikingly beautiful species, characterized by its deep azure-blue upperparts and contrasting white throat and black belly. Unlike many nuthatches, it often forages in small groups and sometimes on smaller branches. It is native to Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. It inhabits montane evergreen forests, including mossy forests, from lowlands to high elevations, often in areas with large trees.
How to spot
Look for its active movements in the mid to upper canopy, often on smaller branches. Listen for its distinctive, high-pitched calls. Its vibrant azure blue plumage and contrasting belly are unmistakable identification features.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range and observable year-round. It is most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning, when it can be seen foraging in trees.

The Azure Nuthatch is unique among nuthatches for its tendency to forage in groups and often on thinner branches or even epiphytes, rather than exclusively on large tree trunks.
